A Christian can build a personal disciple-making plan by identifying who they are currently learning from, who they are walking with, who they are helping follow Jesus, and how those relationships can move toward reproduction. A plan should create intentionality without turning people into projects.
Start With Your Own Discipleship
Ask where you are receiving biblical teaching, correction, encouragement, and accountability.
Identify One Person to Invest In
Choose someone you can meet with consistently.
Define a Simple Process
Use Scripture, prayer, obedience, accountability, and mission as the core.
Set a Sustainable Rhythm
Weekly or biweekly meetings are often enough.
Connect the Relationship to the Church
Disciple-making should strengthen participation in Christ’s body.
Include Reproduction From the Beginning
Explain that the goal is eventually to help someone else.
Review Progress Periodically
Look for growth in character, obedience, Scripture, church life, and mission.
Keep Prayer at the Center
Ask God for people, opportunities, wisdom, and fruit.
Write the Plan on One Page
Record who is discipling you, whom you are discipling, how often you will meet, what simple process you will use, and when you will review progress. One page is enough to move disciple-making from aspiration to a repeatable practice.
A Personal Plan Turns Intention Into Practice
Many Christians agree that disciple-making matters but never begin. A simple plan helps move from agreement to obedient action so disciples increasingly become disciple-makers.
